Introduction The numbers or magnitude can measure a scalar product whereas the vector products are described with the direction along with the magnitude. A scalar and two vectors can be multiplied and can form two kinds of products according to the rules of physics. Both scalar and vector products are used for defining energy and work performed, especially within energy relations. Definition of Scalar Products and Vector Products Scalar products can be defined as an algebraic operation that involves two equal-length sequences of numbers and as a result, returns only one result at a time. This product can be found ... Read More

Introduction Shear Modulus of elasticity refers to the mechanical properties of solid objects. Other types of elastic moduli are Young’s modulus and bulk modulus. These particular modules provide a ratio of the shear stress in respect of the sheer strain of a mechanical body. The Pascal or Pa measures the Shear Modulus Elastic Moduli, which is the SI unit of this property. The dimensional formula of the shear modulus refers to M1L-1T-2. Shear modulus is generally represented by G. F denoted the applied force to the objects and Ac stands for the crosssection area of the object perpendicular to the ... Read More

Introduction Shearing stress refers to a deforming force on those cats as per unit area as well as in the direction of perpendicular number axle. An object that is stressed experiences shear stress, as well as tangential stress. If the shearing stress is normal as well as longitudinal stress that force vector can also be perpendicular in terms of the cross-sectional area on which acts on the particular objects. Simply, the shearing stress is a kind of stress that acts as a coplanar with the cross-section of material. Shear force is the principal reason for rising the shear stress. ... Read More

Introduction The semiconductor devices are known to display properties of partial electrical conductivity. They neither classify into mainstream conductors nor insulators and thus they permit partial conductivity in the process. These semiconductor diodes are further classified into two-terminal and threeterminal devices. Various forms of diodes fall under the category of two-terminal devices. The semiconductor diodes are also made of a single p-n junction and have metallic contacts on both the extreme ends to enable the application of external voltage into it. These diodes have the ability to conduct electricity in any one particular direction. What ... Read More

Introduction S waves are one of the main parts of the elastic waves. S wave is known as transverse waves. It means the direction of the particle motion of a particular. The waves generally move through the ground. S waves are unable to move through the water. S wave may propagate through some liquid solution that has a high viscosity. The name SD wave generally derives from the name a certain fact that these are the second types of a wave which can be detected through the earthquake seismograph. After the P wave, S wave generates because the S wave ... Read More
